Maybe you guys could just...try to cheer up? The gods have thrown more harmful things at us, and you know what they say, right? I think it's something like...some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle, and this'll help things turn out for the best..and...

[He pauses for a moment, because man, that sounds familiar. Where has he heard that before? When he opens his mouth to speak again--oh, god, here comes the tune.]

Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing. An--


Oh..that's...[He pauses, furrowing his eyebrows.] That's--strangely ironic--

You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on--


[N O P E. Slapping a hand to his mouth now. This isn't funny, gods. It isn't funny at all.]

Is that so? I shall have to recommend it as a cure.
